To keep production costs manageable, the scenes of the attack were footage originally shot for the film Tora! Tora! Tora!; the miniseries also used newly dubbed footage of So Yamamura to portray the Japanese commander of the attack. The miniseries aired in three installments on ABC on November 16, 17 and 19, 1978.
